Anti-Discrimination NSW is hosting a free information session in Newcastle.
This is an opportunity for community workers and service providers to learn more about Anti-Discrimination NSW and the services it provides under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977.
The session will also cover the Conversion Practices Ban Act 2024, which prohibits LGBTQA conversion practices in NSW and creates criminal offences for delivering or arranging conversion practices and a civil complaints scheme which will be administered by Anti-Discrimination NSW. Conversion practices – sometimes referred to as ‘gay conversion’ practices or ‘conversion therapy’ – are harmful practices which seek to change or suppress an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
